Advanced Therapy

Engineering Adenovirus for Improved Versatility

With a well-documented safety profile and broad engineering potential, Adenoviruses are driving the future of precision medicine. At ReIGNITE, we are developing a helper-independent "gutless" adenovirus platform for both oncology and non-oncology indications. Their unique characteristics—including targeted delivery, a robust immune response, and the ability to carry large genetic payloads—make them ideal for next-generation therapies.

Targeting Cancer

Engineering Adenoviruses with Directed Evolution 

Adenoviruses offer an exceptional balance of safety, versatility, and genetic capacity, enabling the development of highly targeted and effective treatments for a range of indications.

Learn more about how our Platform works

Enhanced Tropism

Through directed evolution, adenoviruses are engineered to recognize and infect specific cells with high specificity while sparing healthy tissues.

Immune System Avoidance

Our high-capacity adenoviruses are devoid of viral genes, making them ideal delivery vehicles to targeting genetic diseases

Large Payload Capacity

Adenoviruses are capable of carry large payloads (up to 36 kB). This enables the inclusion of multiple therapeutic genes in a single treatment, enhancing the overall efficacy of gene therapy.

Enhancing Safety

Adenoviruses are optimized for safety by reducing their interaction with non-target tissues and ensuring their non-integrating nature. This makes them more suitable for repeated dosing in clinical settings.

Improving Systemic Delivery

Identifying adenovirus variants with enhanced ability to circulate and distribute systemically, ensuring efficient delivery to the organs, tissues, and cells of interest.
